Romanian term or phrase: contemplatia in suferinta
E vb. despre un citat din Mircea Eliade: " Exista in folclorul si in obiceiurile romanesti rurale o suma de amanunte care ne determina sa credem ca noi suntem sau am fost unul din putinele neamuri europene care am experimentat contemplatia in suferinta."

Daca ar putea sa gaseasca cineva traducerea originala in engleza a citatului, as fi recunoscatoare.
